Announcements

Dear Users
Our Commercial and Academic users around the world can use these same forums here as before i.e. the Altair Support Forum ,
Commercial users from India with solver queries can go to the Solver Forum for India Commercial Users ,
Academic Users from India and AOC India Participants are requested to go to the Forum for India Academic Users and AOC India Participants ,
We will be tending to all queries in all the forums promptly as before, thank you for your understanding.

-> Join our webinar on November 14, hosted by Composites World, to see some recent applications where - with the help of advanced simulation tools offered by Altair HyperWorks suite - architects have found original solutions to balance design, structural strength and cost.
-> Learn how ESAComp assisted Digital Architects with the design-development of their wood-composite materials, structural components and joining systems for the proposed innovative façade for the Varna Regional Library in Bulgaria.
-> Presenters: Atanas Zhelev (Digital Architects) and Luca Frattari (Altair)

For thick-walled composite pressure vessels, solid modelling has been added to ESAComp's existing shell analysis module for thin-walled CPVs.
The videos in this playlist form a tutorial that describes the modelling approach and workflow in detail.

Composite structures all have joints, so their design and analysis is paramount to determining their overall performance. Therefore, ESAComp has comprehensive capabilities for both bonded and mechanical joints which are very efficient in the preliminary design of various joint configurations.

Throughout JEC World show, come and see ESAComp in action with our engineers.
With the launch of ESAComp 4.6, we'll show you the new capabilities, including Python scripting; enhanced panel analysis with shell modelled stiffeners...
ESAComp now provides structural analysis of thick-walled pressure vessels from winding patterns imported from Composicad filament winding simulation.
For HyperWorks users, ESAComp provides fully integrated solution for pre- and post-processing of composite structures, allowing ply-by-ply investigation of failure modes using advanced failure criteria.
We're an active member of Altair Partner Alliance, find us together with Altair Engineering in Hall 5A on Stand N68

ESAComp is software for analysis and design of composites. Its scope ranges from conceptual and preliminary design of layered composite structures to analyses of details. ESAComp is a stand-alone software tool, but thanks to its ability to interface with widely used finite element software packages, ESAComp fits seamlessly into the design process.
The comprehensive material database of ESAComp forms the basis for design studies. ESAComp has a vast set of analysis capabilities for solid/sandwich laminates and for micromechanical analyses. It further includes analysis tools for structural elements: flat and curved panels, stiffened panels, beams and columns, bonded and mechanical joints.
ESAComp is developed and supported by Componeering Inc., Finland.
